is recursive by default. Remember: the class is not supposed to be<br>
generic but only serve the filewatch service. I started out trying to<br>
create a generic class but it is just a waste of time since we have<br>
KDirWatch in kdelibs.<br></blockquote><div><br>Oh. I was aiming for a generic version.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

<br></blockquote><div>The FileWatch service currently only watches the home directory, I have some things mounted in my /media/ directory, which are indexed. The metadata copier doesn't work over there. When I copy some folder, say XYZ, from my home directory to /media/somefolder/. XYZ's metadata gets deleted.<br>

to the kernel people about the problems.<br></blockquote><div class="im"><br>Could you? Please.<br>

for now it would be perfectly OK to simply rewrite the strigi config via<br>
KConfig. Just use readPathEntry and writePathEntry to update the<br>
folders. But make sure to only write data back if it actually changes. I<br>
am not sure if KConfig already handles that.<br>
